cheers - thank you all! yes, those noto+sakamoto records were/are huge for me. Definitely spent some time with Sakamoto today - Esperanto & Smoochy specifically. Incredible discography - at one point I felt like I exhausted those first two noto+sakamoto albums from listening to them so much but i'm due for a revisit. never listened past the first xerox - thanks for the reminder. good call. that's the sort of mechanical spirit I'm seeking! :-) don't know that lusine - always dug his poppy stuff on ghostly and was vaguely aware that he did more technoid stuff for Ant-Zen/Hymen under that name variation- will check Kayn rec is good actually. he's got so much stuff it's intimidating so I never properly got started but what little I heard was super dense. looking forward to it ok cracking The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster and putting this to the test. Thanks again and keep the recs coming! On Sun, Apr 2, 2023 at 4:26 PM kawayama <kawayama@gmail.com> wrote:
